We combine Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data for ∼ 100 active galactic nuclei (AGN) available from the Very Large Baseline Array (VLBA) 2 cm imaging survey and optical spectroscopy to investigate the relationships in the emission-line region–central engine–radio jet system. Here, we present the diversity of spectral types among the brightest AGN in our sample. We also discuss correlations between the mass of the central engine and properties of the parsec-scale radio jet for 24 AGN selected by the presence of Hβ broad-emission lines in their spectra.
